Basically ' , this record, like an ' other, is composed of facts. We have taken as its ingredients a diverse as- sortment of facts about people you know and the things they did. We hope that the ' have been com- bined here and thrown into a true perspective which will enable you to sec and remember them always as a unified whole. These tacts seem to fall naturalK ' into five major classifications. The first of these is labeled simply The College. Here you will find the story of the administration, faculty and students of both the liberal arts school and the law school. Another group of facts concerns campus organiza- tions — honorar ' fraternities, student government, re- ligious organizations, publications, and organizations devoted to forcnsics, dramatics and music. A third group covers athletics, including football, basketball, baseball, minor sports and intramurals. A division entitled Social Life tells ot .social fraternities, social activities and the AIa ' Court, and the final group of tacts, labeled Highlights, consists of accounts of the major events of the year. These five major classifications are broken up into smaller sections, each of which includes not only the usual information, but also some of the oft-neglected details connected with the people and things described in that section. Thus you will see in this book the hobbies of protcssors, a student council case, a day in the life of a typical student, and other similar sidelights, presented as informal picture stories at the end of each ot the various sections. - 11 these tacts, big and small, have gone into the making ot this earbook. They are here for you to sec. And, it you look closer, you will see also the spirit w hich lies beneath them. It is our hope that this book will enable you to retain more vividly this true spirit of Wake Forest as you experienced it in the year which has just ended. Thar, more than an thing else, IS the coal of The I ' H ' J Howirn.

T LHIS, our 194V HowiFK, is the record in words and pictures ol a school year at Wake Forest College. That is its purpose and its theme. It is a contemporary record, one which will have been completed just as you read these words for the first time. And it is a perma- nent record, one w hich will take on added significance as the years go by. I lere you will find recorded the patterns w hich form our 1948-1949 school year— names and flices, organizations and activities, aspirations and achieve- ments. It is as though the complex mosaic of these patterns had been hewn in granite by a hand which has just added the last touch to an inscription that will perpetuate them forever. You, as a Wake Forest student, helped form these patterns which we have tried to record. Whether our con tribution was great or small, it was a vital contribution, for it was unique, and could not have been made by anyone but ou. Without you the story which we tell would be a difterent one. So this is your story — the record ot yourself and those who joined with you to create the living drama of a year in the life of your college. You will always remember this drama, especially those of you for whom this is the last year of college life. Bur your memories, no matter how vivid today, will grow dim with the passing years. We who have produced this record hope that it will help you to keep them alive and distinct. We hope that in time it will become for vou the kev to a storehouse of half- forgotten impressions, with power to release them as a flood of nostalgic reminiscences.
